I went and looked at this website. Parody or not, I would have a hard time
justifying showing this one to students. While I do understand it is a
parody, I found it rather offensive and quite racist. If I want to use a
site to show students how to recognize racism, I would rather use a real
site like www.martinlutherking.org than use a site that encourages people to
laugh at the pain and horror that the Afghani people have suffered and are
currently suffering.
